have been trying the newbie mission, and manager to cold approach maybe two women a week. My hands literally shake. I do a little better in situations with friends and at work, but my confidence/self-esteem is not to high. I've tried affirmations, subliminals, and a book on self esteem. My question is that I basically have two choices:

1. Go to a regular psychologist and probably end up medicate and spend lots of time in therapy. Upside, insurance covers the medications and six visits.

2. There is one NLP pratictioner hypnotist in my area. Insurance doesn't cover his work, but it seems like it's quicker and more effective.

Which route would you recommend? Anybody here gone either way?

buy a book called "a new earth" by eckart tolle should help you

Hey dude

Going to see a professional is probably the best way to deal with your issues. I would try to find one that really knows about confidence and Game if possible.

I work with guys helping them with their inner game and approach anxiety and it is amazing what results you can get if you remove fear from situations. I work at PUA Training on the boot camps and also on the residential clients. I also do 1-2-1 session in my private clinic in Muswell Hill in North London.

If any guys are interested in the sort of results you can get by working with a professional please check out this page http://www.realworldhypnotherapy.com/So ... xiety.html

Any questions about hypnosis, NLP or related fields, please post them here or pm me.

Thanks for that Link Kendall. I'm currently working on my inner game and AA but professional help does look very attractive at the moment. Just not sure how it all works really, its not instant results and stuff is it?

Hey

Well it is sort of instant results. I focus on what people want to do, physical real world things, and then help to remove the blocks in the way.

Hypnotherapy is a great way to identify and work on negative issues and removing the things that are keeping you stuck. However it is not some magical overnight process and it requires the client to put time and effort into the process. Think about it like seeing a personal trainer. The trainer can help to get the client fit but essentially it is them who has to put the effort in.

I have done podcasts about hypnosis and how it relates to confidence. You can download these from my website www.realworldhypnotherapy.com and click on the podcast link at the top.

If you have any specific questions about hynosis or confidence, please post them here and I will do my best to answer them.

Thanks for the info Kendall. I've narrowed it down to two choices on who to see. One is covered by my insurance, but he specializes in hypnotherapy, BCT, and has an MD. The other in an NLP Practicioner that my insurance doesn't cover. The thing I worry about with the first guy is that I think they'll probably try to push Zoloft or something on me. But he does hypnosis, that could be useful, but without NLP. I am thinking I should pony up the extra cash and go to the NLP Hypnosis guy.
